After the Rebellion

The New Couple

*Peeta's POV*

The morning after our first picnic in the Meadow with Willow, I wake up and feel incredible. I look down at Katniss in my arms, and I realise just how blest I am to have her in my life. She's given me her love, a daughter, and after last night, hopefully another child.

Katniss's snoring begins to quiet down, and soon, she opens her gorgeous eyes. She smiles at me, obviously as happy as I am.

"Good morning, my beautiful wife," I say.

"Good morning, Peeta," she says, and she gives me a light peck on the lips. Willow stumbles into our room with Haymitch, and suddenly, Katniss and I are covering ourselves up.

"Mommy, what were you and daddy doing?" Haymitch asks.

"Mommy was just sleeping. We woke up as you too walked in," Katniss says, obviously trying to avoid scarring Willow forever. Haymitch just winks at us, and Willow looks confused.

"How about some pancakes?" I say to try to get Haymitch and Willow out of the room. They both cheer, and Haymitch picks up Willow and runs down the stairs to the kitchen with her. Strangely enough, I hear him carrying on a conversation with someone that I can't quite discern.

Katniss and I get out of bed and start getting dressed to go downstairs. When we reach the top of the stairwell, we hear nothing. Nothing at all. I bolt down the stairs, worried that something has happened to my daughter, only to find Haymitch snogging a girl against the wall. I clear my throat, and yet, he continues, unfazed by anything.

I start to bang around dramatically as I prepare our breakfast of waffles and pastries, trying to break them up to see who the girl is. They're still kissing 10 minutes later when breakfast is ready.

"Breakfast is ready!" I shout. 'Maybe now they'll break apart' I think to myself. And they do. Katniss and I gasp when we see that Haymitch was kissing Effie for over 10 minutes. Then I laugh, and Katniss pretends to throw up while they're looking.

We all sit at the dining table, eating silently. Katniss and I risk questioning glances at each other and at the couple. We never thought that Haymitch and Effie would've gotten together, because they were polar opposites.

"What are you kids staring at?" Haymitch asks when he catches all three of us staring at him and Effie.

"Manners," Effie whispers to him. They're both eating with opposite hands, and I warrant a guess that their other hands are grasped, hidden beneath the table. I just look at my plate and smile, knowing that I'm right.

Willow is between me and Katniss playing charades with Haymitch pointing to him and Effie, putting her index fingers together, and puffing out her lips. I know exactly what she's thinking, and I try to contain my laughter, but Katniss just let's hers out.

"Will, you promised not to say anything to mommy or daddy'" Haymitch says to Willow. She just shrugs her shoulders in reply.

"We already caught you two! You can't hide it anymore!" Katniss yells between snorting laughter.

After all the laughter has gone down and the food is eaten, Effie says that she has an announcement to make.

"Well, rather, Haymitch and I have an announcement." She raises up her left hand that was under the table the whole time, and we see a hefty diamond ring on her finger.

"Along with that, Effie's pregnant," Haymitch says.

Katniss and I have no words. Willow happily screams. We haven't seen Effie in a long time, and now she's engaged and pregnant? To Haymitch?

A/N: That took me way too long to update. I'm really really sorry. Hopefully you guys are Hayffie shippers so it makes up for it a little. Now I should probably do my homework that I should've been doing for the past week....
